Announcements

Fishing Minnesota has added a new menu item (see above) called Fishing Report Clubs. It's a way to keep the really good fishing reports coming and being shared only with those who also provide detailed fishing reports.
We will only approve new members who request to join if they have already posted a recent fishing report in the area forum, associated with the Fishing Report Club area you want to join.
Initially we are going to limit the number of regular memberships, in the Fishing Report Clubs, to the top 20 members in each Club, to those with the best frequency and quality fishing reports provided in the club and less so in the regular fishing report forum open to all members. The higher quality fishing report reserved for the club of course.
If you want see detailed fishing reports/tips around your area and will share your detailed fishing report as soon as you join, then Join Now!
Some of the clubs are starting to fill fast. Use the Fishing Reports Club link in the Menu above (after you've posted a fishing report in the regular area forum) and request to Join.

RECEIVE THE GIFTS MEMBERS SHARE WITH YOU HERE...THEN...CREATE SOMETHING TO ENCHANT OTHERS THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE

You know what we all love...

When you enchant people, you fill them with delight and yourself in return. Have Fun!!!

I was out on the lake on the south west side last Saturday evening and picked up a few walleye's on the standard jigging spoon and minnow head right near dusk.

I found about 10" - 12" of good clear ice under about 6" -10" of snow. There was a few spots of very minimal slush but no problem getting around with a wheeler. There are some fairly hard small drifts to be aware of though.

It's a great time to be out on the ice with little fishing pressure or traffic!

Good Luck

Went out of Denny's resort on Wednesday. Fished all afternoon and caught a half dozen eyes. Looks like Nodak has a road plowed out a ways, and there were some vehicle traffic. There were some slushy conditions were we were, but not real bad. Ice measured up to be 14 inches where we were, but I will leave the vehicle driving to the fearless drivers.

A 1/2 dozen eyes is only 3 real fish after a case of Natty!! When we going to plan a weekend to go up to Red? I might be able to get a Ice Castle house for a weekend from an account of mine but want to wait till the Craps are biting.

To much pressure. I hope some day they will lower limits to 4 fish year round. People will still come and it couldn’t hurt to try for a few seasons. I haven’t heard anyone say there are to many fish in Lake of the Woods. The Canadian side is the only thing saving this lake.

Typically they jig May through June, then they start to lindy rig or spinner fish July into September. All depends on what you prefer to do. Ballards Resort bait fishes from start to finish but if you want to down rig many others do that starting in July and end sometime in September usually.
